365 Days of Beauty

In an effort to find more beauty and joy in my life, I'm snapping a picture each day for a year of moments that I find beautiful. There really are no rules. I just want to capture things I see, or moments I feel, or memories that make me feel there is beauty in living. Hopefully my photography improves throughout the year as a side benefit.

January 2, 2018.  This is nicknamed the “smoker’s car.” My beautiful high speed commuter train is full of sleek new cars, but I’ve found that I prefer these old cars. There’s always one on each train. And there is a place to put my extra bags above my head, I can usually have a full bench to myself, and I for some reason like the whole time travel aspect of it all.

December 28, 2018. I’ve never seen a door that is round like this. And the trim around it is exquisite. The contrast between the dark stained wood and the stone building is also beautiful. Too bad it was locked. I wanted to walk through it.

December 26, 2018. It turns out my son and I share a fascination with trains. I’m not really into naming the models and having toys of them as much as I am into taking pics of them and riding on them, but this just seemed so, “Day after Christmas, back to life” as a picture I had to snap it.
